Multigrain Bread For The Bread Machine
I have talked before about my love affair with homemade bread. My very first blog post EVER was a recipe for the bread machine and this pillowy Buttermilk Yeast Bread has been know to send friends and family to their knees when I serve them a slice slathered in butter and honey. It…
Cranberry-Orange Pumpkin Spice Muffins
I should warn you. I will never have enough pumpkin recipes. Muffins, quick breads, dip, pie, shakes-everything. I. Love. Pumpkin. You will probably never find me with a pumpkin spiced latte as the sweetness level is a bit much for me, but other than that, I happily submit to all the pumpkin…
Quick & Easy Pita Chips
Just popping in to post a quick recipe for an easy snack! We really love crunchy pita chips at our house. However, the five of us can easily finish off a whole bag in one sitting so generally, it just makes more sense for me to make them myself. Very easy…
Pioneer Bread
Can I just, say something…crazy? In my head, that request was stated like Princess Anna in Frozen. Ok. Here is the crazy thing. Are you ready? This bread tastes like history. Like the Old West. Like The Oregon Trail. I TOLD you it was crazy, and although I am not a woman…
Honey Cardamom Snack Cake
A year or so ago, my friend Thea and her family stopped by to visit on the way through town. Aside from the fact that I have know her more than 20 years and she remembers what I looked like in the mid 90’s, she is a professional baker. She has been…
Whole Wheat Naan
A few days ago I posted this recipe for Butter Style Chicken in the slow cooker. At the end of the recipe, I casually mention that you should serve it with naan. What I really wanted to say was, “Eat it with naan or you will regret it.” Or even, “If you…
Whole Wheat Banana Bread
One look through my recipe archives and you know how much I love things made with banana. It is not so much that it is my favorite flavor, but that it is just so dang easy to make. Banana type baked goods are virtually guaranteed to come out naturally sweet, moist, and…
Brown Sugar Banana Nut Muffins
I see Banana Nut Muffins as a pretty standard type of baked good. When I set out to create this recipe, I wanted all the great flavor but with just a tweak (just a smidgen) of an update. So I made it heart healthy but kept the classic brown sugar taste that…
Whole Wheat Zucchini Spice Muffins: Back To School Post #2
Here we are again! More back to school recipes and ideas! This recipe came about fast and furiously. Much like the way zucchini grows. It sneaks up on you unexpectedly and then BAM! You have a garden full of green bats that could feed a whole vegetarian army. I was in the…
Blueberry Maple Muffins
I don’t know much in the way of sports jargon, but I will do my best. These muffins came out of left field! They gave me the one two punch! They are a perfect 10! Touchdown! If I had to give this recipe a score, it would be Love:Love. I can almost…
Banana Sour Cream Pancakes & Hotel Room Service
Quite often, food reminds us of special times in our lives. Culinary memories, if you will. My Mother-In-Law was telling me over the weekend that the smell of cinnamon rolls makes her think of her Mother. She used to bake them in the afternoons so that they were fresh and warm for…
Rum Banana Bread: Fruit & Booze
Did the title of this post reel you in? I must admit…that was my secret plan…. (or not so secret if I am telling you) *Evil laugh* while ringing hands… The first time I tried this bread I was intrigued. The extra step of cooking the bananas in the rum was kind…
Ginger Chai Blondies
My neighbor, who ate some of the bars you see in this picture, sent me a text later in the day. These taste like Christmas! And they do indeed. These bars are kind of a cross between a blondie brownie and spicy cup of chai tea, but they aren’t as rich, heavy,…
Apple Butter Bran Muffins
Ah Fall. This time of year, on blogs especially, everyone is raving about how much they love cooler weather, how excited they are for this time of year (i.e. the beginning of ‘The Holidays’) and how wonderful it is to be able to indulge in Pumpkin Spice Lattes again. Don’t deny it. …
